The Donald's utter ignorance

Big issues looming about Donald Trump's connections with Putin and debt to Russian oligarchs (they've financed a lot of his projects, because US banks won't lend to him any more) -- but more about that later.

He made news this morning by a display of his utter igrnoance. Here's what he said about Hillary's VP choice:

“Her running mate, Tim Kaine, who by the way did a terrible job in
New Jersey ― first act he did in New Jersey was ask for a $4 billion tax
increase and he was not very popular in New Jersey and he still isn’t.”

Oopsie !!! Tim Kaine was governor of Virginia, never New Jersey. That was Tom Kean, a Republican, who was governor of NJ from 1982 to 1990. Just another example of how facts don't have much of a place in Donald Trump's rhetoric.
